"Are you free today?" I asked over the phone. I stood up from my office chair and walked towards the glass wall of my office. I watched the cars move like a turtle on the streets due to heavy traffic."Ah... Yes, Clark," she answered, which automatically makes me smile. I put my free hand on my slacks' pocket and turned my back to the glass wall. I approached my office table and sat down on my chair."Can I ask you out for dinner?" I asked which made her silent for a moment."Please..." I pleaded and did puppy eyes. As if she could see me right now doing this childish thing. I mentally slapped my forehead."Okay. What time?" she asked, a bit hesitant. My forehead creased and looked at my phone then put it back again against my ear."Are you okay, Angela? What's the matter?" I asked worryingly. I leaned my back in the office chair while waiting for her response. I heard her sigh on the other line which makes me worry more about her."No...Clark... I'm okay. Don't bother too much," she a
"What?! He asked you if you know Magda?! My god! It's...It’s breathtaking! It will give me a heart attack!" Bel commented and brushed her short hair with her fingers. She was shocked about what happened a while ago on my dinner date with Clark.I am now at home. Clark gave me a ride. He just left a few minutes ago and right now, Bel and I are seriously discussing the shocking happenings I encountered at the restaurant."If you only knew what I've felt earlier. I couldn't even move a little. I thought it was my last day here on earth," I replied as I embraced myself to make myself calm but failed. I could still feel my heart pounding hard and fast."So... what are you going to do now?" she asked with a hint of concern in her voice. I shut my eyes tightly and gulp. I thought deeply but my mind today was twisted by what happened earlier. I slowly opened my eyes. I frustratedly looked in her direction."Where are my siblings?" I asked instead of answering her. I sat weakly on the chair in
"I'll help you to resign but for now, please dance on stage. You are already late. It can cause trouble if we announce a short notice that you can't dance. You know the most reason why they are here is because of you. Just this time Angela. Just this time then I'll help you later. Just let these working hours be done before we do it in the morning," Sir Kenny sincerely said as he held my both hands and squeezed them lightly. I took a deep breath and slowly nodded to him.He apologetically smiled at me and then patted my shoulder as his comfort. He walked out of the room while holding the folder with my resignation letter in it. I sighed and walked straight to the dressing room to change. I put some light makeup on my face and then wear my mask. After preparing myself, I went up to the stage to perform in front of men with lust in their eyes.* * * *Clark’s POV"Sir Clark, Mr. Sy is here. He wants to talk to you for a minute."I stopped signing the papers on the top of my table and cl
Clark's POVI got my car keys and immediately got out of my office."Sir Clark? Where are you going?" my secretary asked and started following beside me."I have an important thing to confirm," I shortly replied and didn't bother to look at her."But Sir, you have a meeting with Mr. Salcedo at nine in the morning and you have thirty minutes left," she informed me.I looked at her in annoyance."I said I have something important—" I stopped myself to shout in front of my secretary. I shut my eyes tightly and took a deep breath to calm myself down. When I felt relaxed, I slowly opened my eyes."Secretary Linda..." I called weakly. I looked at her with desperation. I held both of her shoulders."I badly need to go. Kindly take care of the meeting..." I said and let go of her shoulders. I ran to the hallway to get inside the elevator. All the employees were now confused while looking at me. It looked like they were thinking about why the CEO of the company looks like in a rush.I ignored
Clark's POV"How long will both of you keep this secret from me?" I asked in a low but dangerous tone. Bel didn't utter a word. She didn't even dare to look at me. She was looking straight at the road.I sighed. My grip on the steering wheel tightened, then I blew a horn whenever someone blocked my way."Geez, Clark! Calm down! We might get into trouble if you keep blowing a horn at the road," Bel couldn't help to interrupt.I punched the steering wheel in frustration when we got stuck in traffic."Fuck!" I exclaimed and hit the front of my head against the steering wheel repeatedly."Clark–""Damn it, Bel! Tell me the truth! She's a prostitute, isn't she?!"Bel looked away. She shifted her gaze to the window. She slowly nodded in a reply that made my heart hurt."Are you a prostitute too?"She just silently nodded again as a response. I took a deep breath and looked at the road. There was one thing left that needed to be confirmed."Does Angela happen to be Magda in the entertainment

Mental health matters. **** “Where are you going, huh?" my boss asked and laughed evilly. I cried badly. I didn't know what to do.I screamed in horror when one of his guards held both of my hands, just to refrain me from punching them to escape. His companion hovered over me. He licked his lips devilishly while staring at my body. He looked like a crazy dog who wanted to take a bite."P-please! D-don't! Let me go..." I pleaded while tears were freely streaming on my face."Too late, Magda. It's unfair to Kenny if you're not going to receive a punishment, right?" he asked innocently and dragged his office chair near to the sofa where I am lying. He sat there and held his manhood. He started to masturbate.I tried to withdraw my hands from the grip of the guard and I succeeded. I quickly punched the body guar
I shut my eyes and put both my hands on each side of my ear when he pointed his gun in my direction. I'm not ready to die yet. My siblings need me.The next thing I knew, I heard two executive gunshots echoing in the four corners of the room. I was startled in shock and my heart pounded so hard.Did he shoot me?I asked in my mind while my eyes still closed. It took me a few seconds before I opened it.My eyes widened in shock and terror after I saw the two guards lying on the floor, lifeless. They had gunshots on their heads. The thick red blood running on the floor.I shivered in terror at what I saw. I broke into tears. Seeing three dead bodies on the floor made me feel like I was going insane. Add the crimson red blood running on the floor and was about to reach my feet. I quickly moved away from my feet just not to let the blood touch my skin.I shakingly looked at my boss who happens to be my father. He smiled devilishly while his gun pointed at me. I shook my head many times jus
[Police and ambulance sirens]"Don't move!"[Repetitive gunshots]Clark's POVI cried my heart out as I hugged Angela tightly. Seeing her naked due to being gang-raped with those devils makes my heart crushed into pieces. I shouted and cried in anger. Anger for the devils who did these inhumane things to her, anger for coming late, anger for not saving her as soon as possible, and anger for not being by her side all the time to protect her.I promised her before that I will protect her at all costs. But at what happened I could say I failed.This time, I couldn't see any but God. I looked outside the window just to see the dark gray sky. I kept on thinking about why he let these things happen to us. Why did he let these unfortunate things happen to Angela? Does she deserve to receive this unfortunate life? Does she?"Please...""Why?" I asked in agony while crying, asking the father in heaven why this happened. Begging him to give me an answer to my questions so that I could breathe fr
